Name: Eric Stoner
Age: 22
Hometown: Currently Chino Hills, CA but I've lived all over So. Cal
Favorite Sports Team(s): Jacksonville Jaguars, Florida Gators, Los Angeles Lakers
School/Occupation: Legal Assistant
Life Story: I'm a complete mutt - various whites, Cuban, Lebanese, Chinese, and Cherokee. My ancestors slept around a lot. I was born and raised in southern California, have lived all over the Inland Empire most of my life, lived in San Diego for a few years (hopefully moving back there this winter). I started at OT and LB for my high school team (at only 5'11 190 lbs - it was ******* ********) and coached offensive and defensive line for a varsity football team the past two years. I won't be doing that now because I work full time now at a law firm that represents mostly government entities and insurance companies.
How you found the site: I was looking for mock drafts back for the 2004 draft. Early in the scouting process, Scott was the only person who had Sean Taylor slipping to the Jaguars so I stuck with this site. I lurked on the boards for a couple years and finally joined and began posting in January of 06.

Had to inject that into the dialog b/c I'm going to meet Bret Easton Elis later today at a book signing, I want to tell him that Bateman has become an American Adam prototype for Gen X & the '80s, report to NFLDC to follow later...

If you're not going to spend money on good beer, why not just buy cheap liquor instead? The appeal of beer, at least to me, is that it tastes good. If you're going to buy something cheap that tastes like ****, go with cheap liquor that will get you drunk faster.

Unless you're playing a drinking game like beer pong or king's cup, I completely agree with this. Go in on a cheap handle of vodka with a few people, and everyone can buy their own chasers/mixers because vodka mixes well with anything.

I think I have found the problem. Spend the extra coin on some decent beer.

Please report to the Beer-a Obscura thread for remedial instruction.

Nahhhhhh. Id rather buy 12 beers for the same price as 6! In the end the goal is to catch a nice solid buzz. I mean 'spending some extra coin' can really go on forever. You can always spend more coin to get more expensive beer, until you finally end up buying a bottle of Sam Adams Utopius.

I was really drunk on cheap beer at the time I typed that haha. I splurged that last weekend and went with a 12 pack of Honeyweiss rather than a 24 of something ****** like Keystone, Lost Lake, or something else. It was quite enjoyable, but now I don't have any beer left and I spent the same amount of money. Expensive beer is a nice treat once in awhile, but until I am out of college, it won't be routine.

PS - Everyone in MN or WI should try Lost Lake. It is a Lacrosse, WI beer, it tastes better than Keystone, but not by much, and it costs $10.99 for a 24 pack. I recommend it.

Because I can't control my drunk very well when I drink liquor. I always end up getting way to drunk. When I drink beer, I know how many I need to get to what stage of drunk. Plus, cheap beer still tastes better than a mixed drink, unless it is a really girly mixed drink like some UV or 99 Apples. I hate vodka mixed with anything. I hate rum mixed with anything. Cheap beer > ****** mixed drink.

I guess the taste of cheap beer doesn't really bother me all that much. Much less than cheap liqour at least. I'd rather spend 17 bucks on a case of Michelob than 10 on a ****** bottle of Karkov. That stuff just guarantees puking your guts up that night or having a horrible hangover the next day. Or both.
